Farewell, My King

Punapippuri, King Kitty Cat of Finland(N)

September 2008 - 6 July 2017

Nuku hyvin, pikku rohkea mieheni

Äiti: With a very heavy heart I have to pass on this sad news. The surgery on Punapippuri's stomach revealed extensive aggressive tumours and he is now at peace. Please, as soon as you can move through the shock, celebrate his life and feel joy for what he shared with us. He brought me friends from across the world and enriched my small life far more than I could ever have imagined. Here in his Kingdom he gave me so much love and attitude, in his wonderful sassy, tailio swishing way. In particular in the last week - as I knew he was fighting something - he gave me so very much.

Please, Loyal Readers, feast on fine lohi and raise your glass to him with a smile; a life like his must be celebrated. I want the happy memories to live on - his peemails certainly will.

About 8 years ago I visited ystävämme eläinlääkäri for the first time and by coincidence a pikku pentu had been left there, having been found wandering lonely in Muhos fields. That was the greatest gift I was ever given, and I thank everyone at Lemmikki for their care and love for this bratty boy until the end. He will be missed beyond words and I want to think he is with Stran, his best buddy. And now my two best buddies together. We have 24 hour daylight still here so it will be a while before I can look for their dancing tails in the revontulet.

I need to take a break with this blog which I know you will understand. But there will be a blog of some sort soon, when I sort out my thoughts. It will have a new address and I'll let you know here when it's ready.

We are weeping as we raise our glasses to this fine ManCat, but raise them we do. You were my bestest friend, King P, and you brought me joy every day. I'm glad you lived in Kitty Paradise there with Aiti, and the perhe. The Human and I will remember you with love and joy for always and always.

King Punapippuri, you will be greatly missed. I'm sure Zoe was at the Rainbow Bridge to greet you with a slap to the head (before you were reunited with Stran, of course - she wasn't stupid!). Nine years was not long enough for your Aiti to have you around, but 50 years would not have been enough either. Until we meet again, beautiful boy.

I owe a huge debt to HRH King P of Finland (North)-he sent me the best friend I've ever had, and the most wondrous adventure of a lifetime. It was an honoUr and a great pleasure to pet you purrson, Punapippuri. Your legacy is the comradeship of love around the globe.Codspeed, sweet boy, and may you rest in peace.

My heart is breaking with yours, but we are so happy to have gotten to know and love the great King P. Please accept our softest purrs and headbonks.With much love,Princeton, Preslee, Prudie, Precious and the human Mom.

Oh my, I am so so sorry to hear your news, and send you our love and support. May the good memories fill your heart and mind and drive away the tears and sadness, for King Punapippuri wishes you never to be sad, and to celebrate a life well lived and loved. Gentle purrs. Erin

Oh Dear! I am weeping. Punapippuri was truly the King! I am sure that Queen Penelope was there to greet him when he came over the bridge, she always thought he was a truly fine specimen of a man cat! I send you much love, hugs and strength.Love barb

This is most heartbreaking news, the Finland (north) without our rightful king. We're so sorry for Äiti and the whole Perhe. You're all in our thoghts, Mum and Olivia's. Sanni has left us too, two months ago. We're sure she's welcoming Punapippuri to the Bridge with Stran and all the dearest ones.<3

My human and I were so shocked and saddened when we read about Puna earlier this evening. We will celebrate his life in time, but we are still reeling. Lots of purrs to you - my human knows what it's like to be where you are right now.

We are so very sorry to read this news. We met Puna-Chan many years ago, when he was still very much a youngster, and he helped to shape our formative blogging years (as well as taught us some Finnish!). We cannot believe he is gone. Finland must be a very quiet place today. We bow our heads in respect and send our warmest condolences to Äiti and all the family.

I am so sorry and the tears are running freely at this very sad news. Punapippuri has left far too early and will be greatly missed. He not only brought you friends from around the world Karin, but brought you and his family to us to enjoy the beautiful photos and adventures.I know there were many waiting for him and he has gone to peace and happiness. The pain and grief is for those left behind, but when you are ready take pleasure of the many happy memories he has given you. Love and hugs, Jackie.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. There are no words to describe the pain we feel when we lose a beloved kitty. I can only hope that in time your happy memories bring your heart comfort and soothe your soul. We will honor him with a celebration of his life during our paw circle this evening. Sending love and gentle hugs to all that loved him from near and far.

I am sorry for your loss. I didn't get a chance to know your Punapippuri, as I am just now learning about your blog. But it sounds like he was loved not only by you but my many. I send you hugs to help soothe your sorrows. Just know that your furr-iend will shine on in the skies above. -Valentine (& Mom) of Noir Kitty Mews

Crushing news. Our tears are falling and hearts are breaking. Our special candle has been lit and we search , in vain, for an answer to the question why. What little comfort to be found is knowing this dear boy is no longer suffering. We send you all of our love and prayers.He had the best life with you. You understood him and accepted him for himself. "Grieve not. Nor speak of me with tears, but laugh and talk as if I were beside you. I loved you so...''twas heaven here with you." I. Richardson.Punapippuri was the most beautiful and delightful kitty I've ever seen.Without a doubt

I know I do not comment often, but that didn't mean I didn't follow along your Punapippuri. I admire your fine desire to wish to celebrate a special life and although that is the ultimate truth, for awhile there will be sadness of a deep loss in your heart and the hearts of others who care. May his journey continue through the stars and the heavens above, and if you believe as I do that one day your reunion will be glorious. Deep purrs.

Fare thee well, Punapippuri. We here (the hoomin, Angel, Miss Toffelees, and Gandalf) have all enjoyed reading of your adventures and been enriched by your wisdom. While we'll miss you, we kitty cats (and hoomin!) look forward to seeing you at the Bridge some day. Until then!

I am still in shock to know King Punapippuri has gone to rainbow bridge. I still remembered we had a great time teasing each other when we first know each other by blogging. He was a king of Finland, and I was a king of some street in Melbourne Australia. I still keep the toys he sent me ( I didn't keep the Hammick because I turned to be a big cat. I gave to some kitty before I moved to Bangkok ). We had a good time indeed. Many years has passed, I didn't do blog more often. Deal to Human's complicated life which I don't want to get involved. I am so sorry . I do love you, my friend. Rest in peace. Hug to Äiti

Oh King Punapippuri...you truly were a beauty and I am saddened that I did not get to meet you sooner. But you remind me such much of my sweet Jazmine, a ginger and white cat full of attitude, spunk, love, and a floofy tail like yours! May you be at peace - a toast to your glorious life!

What a very sad piece of news that is!We all know we must die and our kitties die younger than we.I had not known Punapippuri for long but that was a very gentle cat.It will be three months tomorrow that we had to put Frimousse to sleep and just over 5 months that RouXy died. He looked very much like Punapippuri...I'm sure Punapippuri is everywhere today. Everywhere but nowhere to be seen. You miss him I'm sure.Poor kitty. The only good point is the fact that you prevented him to suffer.My very best whishes.

I heard about your sweet King Punapippuri at Tessa & Kajsa's blog. I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope your heart will be filled with lots of happy memories, joys and happiness he brought in your life. xo

So sorry to hear about your dear Punapippuri, having to become an angel Kitty.May he fly freely and with the most beautiful strong and glittering wings.He is sure to soon send showers of sparkling angel dust over you to give those he loved and left behind peace and comfort.We send our purrs, soft aroos and petcretary adds big hugs. ((((( ♥ )))))

I was found when I was just 6 weeks old - olin tosi pikku - alone in the fields of Muhos. I was taken in by some kind people and then found my new home. I soon became King Kitty Cat of Finland (North) and now invite you to share my adventures and stories. Tervetuloa!
